How the 'Ten Rules of Baseball' relate to completion

If you start to slide, slide!:

When I first met Coach Paul Rogers, I was eight years old in the little town of Wakefield, VA. I played four years of Little League baseball for Coach Rogers and thanks to 'Coach' I left Wakefield better prepared to take on the world. I remember that he brought a mimeographed handout to the very first practice, titled 'The Ten Rules of Baseball'. I believe this to be the list, and number five stands out as one of the keys to understanding the third 'c' in my series The Four C's That Launched churnOn.com - 'complete'. Actually, almost all of these rules can be applied to getting stuff done.

1. Nobody ever becomes a ballplayer by walking after a ball.
2. You will never become a .300 hitter unless you take the bat off your shoulder.
3. If what you did yesterday still looks big to you, you haven't done much today.
4. Keep your head up and you may not have to keep it down.
5. When you start to slide, slide. He who changes his mind may have to change a good leg for a bad one.
6. Do not alibi on bad hops. Anybody can field the good ones.
7. Always run them out. You never can tell.
8. Never quit.
9. Do not find too much fault with the umpires. You cannot expect them to be as perfect as you are.
10. A pitcher who hasn't control hasn't anything.

Play ball!
